American Provincial Corps 1775-84
Initially British officials of the American Revolutionary War were reluctant to accept the offers of loyal subjects to form fighting units but eventually the potential of a Provincial corps was realized. Nonetheless the Provincial Corps served with distinction - even fighting against the Spanish in Nicaragua and the Bahamas - and some remained in service for several more years by relocating to Canada. Yet they never received the whole-hearted support of the British regular army and this was a factor in their eventual defeat.
This book examines their experiences in this continental conflict and details their uniforms and equipment.
